A workshop on exporting Burmese timber and other forest products to Western countries was held on 30 September at the Myanmar Timber Merchants Association office. The workshop was attended by timber merchant organisations from Britain, Denmark, USA, Australia and the Netherlands, as well as officials from Burma’s Forestry Department and related NGOs.

During the workshop, a joint working group was created, in part to ensure that forest products are exported in accordance with local and international law.
